Buffy's Song

I just heard Buffy's song for the first time in many years. It brought me to tears, because it reminded me of how much I have changed, how far I have gone and what I have become. I once stood shoulder to shoulder with other of the same mind, sure to the bone, that no killing could ever be justified. The universal soldier could never claimed to be sent by me. Now I sit, a dirty old poet, analyzing angst, grieving over grief, rationalizing apathy, watching a hard rain fall, and universal soldiers kill women, children and each other, do genocide in the name of the corporate order and myself.
